Index of work · 2023 to 2026

One person. The whole website.

I design, write, and build websites for businesses of all sizes, from a one-page bakery site to a seventy-page internet company website. I figure out what the site needs, make it clear and easy to use, and get it launched.

Phonoscope Fiber

A Houston fiber company had a four-page site for a seventy-year business. I turned it into a clearer place for customers, sales, and support.

Phonoscope has been a Houston business since the 1950s, and has run fiber under the city since the 1980s. Its website did not show that scale. When I arrived, the public site was four aging pages. I rebuilt it into more than seventy pages for home internet, business service, industries, support, and blog posts.

The hard part was making the site work for very different visitors. A hospital IT director, a small-business owner, and a homeowner with buffering problems all land in the same place. I planned the pages, wrote the copy, made custom icons, handled what shows up on Google, connected analytics and ad accounts, and kept the site updated.

RuggedEdge

An industrial hardware company had serious equipment and almost no public face.

RuggedEdge makes rugged computers for industrial sites where ordinary electronics cannot go. When I started, the company had the product and the proof, but almost no public brand. I made the logo, style guide, brand assets, and website.

The writing had to be exact without reading like a spec sheet. I stayed close to the engineering details, then turned them into buyer-facing pages for EdgeOne, EdgeTwo, and EdgeConnect. The result felt serious without making the reader work too hard.

Jobline

A job board for people the listings usually skip: returning citizens, people without stable housing, people with disabilities.

Jobline started as a nonprofit side project and became a working job site. The point was simple: help people find jobs they could realistically take. A job seeker could filter for fair-chance employers, night shifts, location, and other details that matter more than a generic listing.

The site is not online right now, but it shows I can carry more than a brochure site. I built separate areas for jobs, resources, and resumes. Employers had their own pages and sign-in. The screens stayed plain on purpose, because a person looking for work should not have to figure out the website first.

TapTapContact

Digital business cards for Cast Fireplaces. Tap the card, save the contact, done.

Cast Fireplaces wanted business cards that worked after the handshake. A person scans a QR code, opens a clean phone page, and saves the contact without typing. I built the first version, then rebuilt it as a faster, easier-to-maintain site.

Behind the scenes, one employee list creates each card page, web address, and downloadable contact file. Add a new employee once and the pieces appear in the right places. No one has to copy the same page twelve times. I also designed the printed cards, so the handoff from paper to phone felt intentional.

The Tea Cake Man

A Houston man bakes teacakes people drive across town for. He needed one good page.

Not every job is seventy pages. The Tea Cake Man sells homemade teacakes and cobblers around Houston, and the right answer was one page: what he makes, what it costs, how to order, and a form that goes straight to him.

I wrote the page to sound like the person selling the teacakes. Warm, brief, no food-blog throat clearing. This is the project I show people who ask whether I only do big corporate sites. The right size was small, so I kept it small and made it feel cared for.

Margin note

Phonoscope is job 01 and this is job 05 on purpose. Same hands, same care, opposite scale. That range is the point.

How I work

Every project above, I designed, wrote, built, launched, and maintained myself. That includes the work people usually notice only when it is missing: page order, navigation, what shows up on Google, analytics, ad setup, launch steps, and small updates after the site goes live. I choose the tool based on the job. Sometimes the client's team needs to edit pages themselves. Sometimes the site needs something more custom. I use AI when it saves time, then check the work by hand.

If your website is a pile of old decisions, that is normal. Bring it anyway. I am comfortable with messy starting points; four of these five began as one.

I'm Chris. Houston, Texas. The five jobs above are real and so are the businesses, which means I have written fiber-optic service pages and teacake descriptions in the same working week. Both got my full attention.
